Drew Lisk, a graduate of Jordan High School and who amassed 4,706 yards of total offense as a senior, jogged onto the field to take the last snaps of the game. Lisk, walked on to the team in 2016 before being the team’s primary scout team QB this year.

With senior Alabama transfer Cooper Bateman not making the trip, Lisk earned the third-string QB spot for the bowl game. Lisk, made the travel roster in four of five road games but did not make an y appearances.

Knowing this, Williams’ act makes it arguably one of the best stories of 2017 as the senior made sure to get Lisk into the game. After losing his starting job in fall camp, Williams ended up starting three games this year due to injuries to Sophomore quarterback Tyler Huntley, including a win over Colorado on Senior Night.
